Mabel Greer's Toyshop are an English psychedelic and progressive rock band formed in London in 1966 by guitarist/vocalist Clive Bayley, drummer Robert Hagger, and bassist Paul Rutledge.

They revived Mabel Greer's Toyshop in the following year with Hugo Barré and Yes alumni Tony Kaye and Billy Sherwood, and released two studio albums and one compilation.

Squire's arrival was key in the group's development, as his connections at The Marquee club helped the band secure gigs at more famous venues, such as Happening 44 and UFO, and support The Nice and The Who.

[8] In July, following a period of rehearsals in Soho, Tony Kaye joined on keyboards and Banks, who had left Mabel Greer for a month, came back to replace a departing Bailey.

The pair met at a restaurant in Nice, France that July, where they agreed to revive Mabel Greer's Toyshop and book studio time to work on songs.
